It would surprise me if anyone actually did. I think I have an undiagnosed case of OCD.

Be prepared to listen to about 1min of audio on your PC If they don't fix it before you get to the end. By my calculations, it is about 10sec for every hour.

When you bounce back and it has to rebuffer, you are rebuffering 4min of audio. It shouldn't do that. If they don't fix it with their new buffering scheme in the next version, we should definitely detail out the problem and suggest an alternative. Like jumping back to the beginning of the buffer instead of restarting the buffering.

Since they actually fixed the problem of losing parts of the stream and whole words would be stuttered to the point of misinterpretation, I felt I should close it out and call it something else.

This really...really...bothers me as well. They need to unbind the control functions from the trackball. At a bare minimum, the FF RW need to go and they need to enable the mute button on top of the device as a pause/play toggle. If this were done, at least you wouldn't wreak havok on your book position when holstering.
